Today in class we started a new unit titled Teens in the Media. There are four major assignments that go with this unit.
1. Novel Notebook (two formative quiz grades)
2. Independent Book Project (summative grade)
3. On-Demand Writing Piece (summative grade)
4. Test on the novel Stargirl (summative grade)
Students received a unit overview sheet with a calendar that has the due dates for the assignments. The dates are tentative and may change. I have attached a copy of the overview sheet.
The novel notebooks will be completed using their independent novel. The novel should have a main character that is in the preteen-teenage range. There are three assignments in the novel notebook: two weeks of analysis, and two essay questions at the end. I will do a weekly check to make sure the students are staying up to date with the work in their notebooks. Answers need to be thorough, thoughtful response written in complete sentences. I have attached a copy of the novel notebook.
